$600 = amount of upcoming 2008 federal tax rebate check.

Give thanks to President George W. Bush and go SPEND!

If you go to rush.com and visit the Multimedia section "Rush on the Road" -- click on the the San Juan Rehearsal slide show -- there is a great close-up pic of Geddy Lee's Little Phatty SE with 02 TOMSAWYER PRESET ACTIVE visible in the program window.

. I use my microKorg . . . 1) for filtering beats from my ZOOM MRT-3B, 2) as an arpeggiator for step sequencing and latched high string drones, 3) for the vocoder + formant for complex pad textures, 4) for DWGS digital bells and whistles, 4) for phat monosynth lead lines. very versatile synth . . . ...

I've used the EA-1 (with a capo holding the filter open) live for an entire noise-guitar set. It was great. I've been getting really into the way my MG-1's works lately though. With a really loud input sound it sound quite over-driven awesome. I've been using the drums from a hing hon EK-001* as a ...

I've been down to GC recently to check out synths. The sales guy was trying to sell me on and Roland SH-201 but I think it feels cheap and is not worth the $$$ they want. Sounds aren't all that great either. I was more impressed with the Juno-D. Has good sounds and is solid, not plastic like the SH...

I just scored a Korg M1 + flightcase and card for £65. I think i got a pretty sweet deal there. I sould get it this weekend with a bit of luck. I have been using the W-30 as my workstation for a year now and have decided to start using something which does not live on floppies. I have gone for the ...

. Loverboy -- the epitome of high school cool -- and "Working for the Weekend" , "Turn Me Loose" , "Take Me to the Top" . . . these are all great, well-constructed, rock pop songs. The band had a great run until MTv killed them off by pushing the forgettable "Queen of the Broken Hearts" -- the song ...

Picked up the white version from GC the other day for $299. Really impressive sound set and the librarian/editor seems to work on the Macbook Pro- intel mac (SOS's review from '06 stated that it didn't). I've been craving a ROMpler for a while now and this should fit the bill nicely. The drum kits ...

However, I could imagine there being cheaper and even smaller/easier to use/more modern sounding synths developed which would just replace the microkorg for a long time

And that might just be . . . the Kaossillator !?!

I am really getting into my Wavestation EX and was just wondering...What songs has Wavestation seen use on. I know genesis used one on 'No Son Of Mine' but what other recordings feature the Wavestation? Im totally in love with this synth. It may lack a resonant filter but the sound is just so HUGE....

Oh, and I hear you about the weight of the Z1. I bought mine off a guy who was about an hour away on transit... the trip home felt like 3 hours lugging that thing. However, I would far rather have them make synths like that still as opposed to the rice cakes they make today. . :lol: rice cakes! . ....

Hi to all It's my first post, i found this forum very useful with pro members in synth. I'm new in music world, and i just play piano for about one month, i want to study piano and synth simultaneously. i don't like trance style so the Roland SH201 isn't good for me as my first synth. i don't want ...

I think Korg Radias has a chance. It looks cool, well, at least very different and 00s, and has a distinct sound and feature set. It's under appreciated today, and would guess didn't sell that well. And it meets the most important criteria of a classic-to-be: it's somehow a bit dorky. :D . Duran Du...

Electribes (most of the people i know who buy microkorgs buy one of these to go with it, that alone will give them some status) . That describes my story to an E . . . lectribe. The Electribe series was at first a curiosity to me, and even though there was an EMX-1 in the studio that brought me in ...
